A Night Down the Social Club Returns!
Untangle your tinsel, its time for our Working Mens Club Xmas Party!
Get on your best Saturday night festive togs and join us as London’s Best Regional Gay Bar celebrates the fabulousness of the working men’s and social clubs. We’re proudly modelled on these amazing community spaces — places that fostered solidarity, laughter, and camaraderie through times of struggle and joy. As these clubs, along with many LGBTQ+ spaces, continue to disappear, we’re paying homage to their enduring spirit and regional flair.

Then delight in the live Star Turns, featuring:
- Don One - Don One is one of the biggest drag kings in the UK. As a multi-disciplined performer; singer, host, comedian, actor, rapper and MC, they have taken their act from stage to screen. First starring in the West End Show, and most recently appearing as a regular guest on Joe Lycett’s new Channel 4 series The Lycett Arms.They also host a queer history podcast called Time Travelling Queers.
- Rosa Garland - Rosa Garland is a queer clown and live artist who likes slime. Their depraved solo show Primal Bog has toured internationally and been recommended by the New York Times. They love to explore the messiness of desire on stage while also being an idiot.
- Medusa Has Been – 1973 Knobbly Knees Winner, Beauty Pageant Finalist (2nd Place), and macramé plant holder maker (special mention). Come for the legs, stay for the tunes — no macramé outfits required.
- Barbara Barrel – bringing powerhouse vocals from Liverpools Port Sunlight to the tiny Triangle stage and singing with The House Band performing their greatest hits so not too long a set!
- Julie Cockles - Maim That Tune returns along with The Generation Game Conveyor Belt!
Your host for the evening is Dr Martin O’Brien, Burnley’s best bingo caller, with Daddy Wayne welcoming you at the door.
There’ll be party games, dancing, xmas tree, knobbly knees competition, tip-top standard bar food — festive platters, crisps, and pickles on every table, plus a few games of bingo throughout the night. Dabbers are available, unless you prefer to bring your own lucky one. All this included in your ticket.
Join us for a festive night down the social — full of nostalgia, class acts, star turns, top tunes, bar nibbles, solidarity, and bingo!
